Busy week gratitude...


The past week was busy and full.  Sunday evening came, and along with it, the desire/need to just rest. So I did, making my weekly gratitude post a day later than usual.  Without a lot of words, but will a heart full of thanksgiving, here it is.

Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.
 I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my journal.

  2. Yep, we're smack dab in the middle of house projects, so I'm resonating with you, Elizabeth!
